Postal Cutbacks Ordered by Mr Summerfield
Postmaster General Summerfield ordered all 37 000 post offices to prepare for drastic mail reductions unless Congress approves 47 million dollars for the remaining three months of the 1957 fiscal year. He announced Saturday closures and no city suburban or rural mail deliveries except special delivery items, with later limits on window service and a suspension of money orders and third class mail for larger communities. He said action was blocked by Congress but insisted he would resign only if his funding request is rejected.

Senator Criticizes State Dept on Red China Entry Ban
Sen. OMahoney accuses the State Department of diverting attention from its ban on newsmen entering Red China and owes an apology to Negro reporter William Worthy for testimony he says was meant to imply Worthy was jailed for conscientious objector status in World War II. Worthy disputes charges, saying he faced 4-F status due to a duodenal ulcer and did not serve time in jail. The debate centers on whether the press has the right to accredited reporters in any country where American interests are at stake.
